  • Show HN: An experimental, modern package manager for operating systems

    That's quite the sparse list of packages: https://github.com/lodosgroup/package-builds/tree/linux-amd6... They also don't seem to think this is going to catch on and thus haven't shared the directory list as homebrew-core recently had to do: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/tree/master/Formul...

    There are already SO MANY build-from-source specifications it is insaneo to start a new project without the ability to at least import from any one of them, especially since it seems this toy goes with the "shell script and good luck" approach https://github.com/lodosgroup/package-builds/blob/linux-amd6... (not even having the forethought to provide a download helper and/or turn on `curl -f` because the network is always reliable and servers never 503 amirite?)
